From Roger Kimball:
“Remember the ‘pipe bombs’ that were supposedly planted by ‘insurrectionists’ [on Jan 6 2020]? It turns out they were almost certainly dummy explosives planted by government agents.”
Yeah… funny how that investigation suddenly evaporated, and news reports thereof disappeared down Winston Smith’s memory hole tube.
By “funny” I mean like “watching your dog getting run over by a truck” funny.
Feel the burn…
From The Divine Sarah:
“It’s not my fault that the people running all our intellectual institutions, including research, are morons studying to be idiots.”
Truer words were never spoken.
From Hugh Grant’s mother:
“All Englishmen are permanently two gin and tonics under par. They need two gin and tonics to become human.”
So… I’m English, then? I did not know that about myself.
From SOTI:
“I am not a fan of Cerakote, it feels like wearing a prophylactic.”
I can’t remember when last I fired a gun with a Cerakote finish, and that’s also true of the second half of the sentence.
There’s nothing like the feel of blued steel to the gloveless touch, and also the other thing.
Just… damn.
“Everything is over and done with. The divorce will take a little more time but my money is in my retirement account. My ex is out of my house. And my cousin can go fuck herself.”
Now read all about it. FAFO Supreme, times two.
From SOTI, about SHTF-prepping properly:
“Stockpiling all the preserved food and medical supplies in the world won’t help when the first person to show up with a 12-gauge pump shotgun can take them all away.”
I know I’m pretty much preaching to the choir on this website, but it’s nevertheless a warning to pass on to others you may know who haven’t taken all the proper precautions. (I myself can’t think of any of my own acquaintances who aren’t armed to the teeth properly prepared in this regard, but that’s just me.)
Hell, I don’t even know any liberals where I might engage in a little impromptu property redistribution in a SHTF situation, but there must be a few out there, even in suburban north Texas. I’m just not willing to try to find out, for obvious reasons.
Even if I saw a “Guns Are Murder” lawn sign, they could just be hunting over bait (which is legal in Texas).
